Sorry, but the casinos were not to have any part in investing in the of rebuilding Atlantic City. That would have been nice, but how was that supposed to happen?
Initially, the revenue to the state from gaming went towards a prescription plan for seniors and schools, but nowhere was the onus on the casinos to help rebuild the city.
